PHT_VIRTUAL_DEV_FLOPPY: PDT_USE_REAL_DEVICE, PDT_USE_IMAGE_FILE.
PHT_VIRTUAL_DEV_HARD_DISK: PDT_USE_REAL_DEVICE, PDT_USE_IMAGE_FILE.
PHT_VIRTUAL_DEV_OPTICAL_DISK: PDT_USE_REAL_DEVICE, PDT_USE_IMAGE_FILE.
PHT_VIRTUAL_DEV_SERIAL_PORT: PDT_USE_REAL_DEVICE, PDT_USE_OUTPUT_FILE, PDT_USE_OTHER (for socket mode).
PHT_VIRTUAL_DEV_PARALLEL_PORT: PDT_USE_REAL_DEVICE, PDT_USE_OUTPUT_FILE, PDT_USE_OTHER (for printer mode).
PHT_VIRTUAL_DEV_NET_ADAPTER: PDT_USE_REAL_DEVICE (host-only network), PDT_USE_IMAGE_FILE (shared network), PDT_USE_OUTPUT_FILE (bridget ethernet)
